• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

LWMViewer problem

Hello all

I have ran into a problem which at this point has gotten me pretty frustrated. I just want to add that i did post this problem in Avsim forum in a discussion but yet have to get a reply. I figured that perhaps someone might have ran into this issue or might know of a solution. Any reply and help as always is greatly appriciated.

My problem is that i downloaded LWMViewer 2 to give the program a try and see what it can do. The problem i ran into is that it took every bgl. file in FS9 and changed its extension to be opened with LWMViewer. The problem with this is that i wanted to create a bgl. light as discussed a while ago in this forum (posted by rhumbaflappy) and have created many before. When i go to convert the asm file into a bgl. file i have no problem but since it now has the LWMviewer extension to it, it can't be renamed to be a mdl. file(the file would be....light.mdl.bgl).

Like i stated, i have done this many times with no problem. I have tried to erase LWMViewer with now luck as the extension remains. I have even reinstalled FS9 completely and all the scenery and objects yet it still remains(only good thing is that FS9 runs a whole lot better now with everything maxed out)

If anybody could give some advice on how to help with this problem or perhaps somebody else has dealt with this and can point me in the right direction would be of great help at this point as i intended to finish my project this week but is on hold because of this.

Thanks in advance
Dave
